What is to give light must endure burning.

Pain from problems and disappointments, etc., is inevitable in life, but suffering is a choice determined by whether you choose to compare your experience and pain to something better and therefore feel unlucky and bitter or to something worse and therefore feel lucky and grateful!

If architects want to strengthen a decrepit arch, they increase the load which is laid upon it, for thereby the parts are joined more firmly together.

To suffer unecessarily is masochistic rather than heroic.

If we take a man as he is, we make him worse, but if we take man as he should be we make him capable of becoming what he can be.

Either belief in God is unconditional or it is no belief at all.
